Stainless Steel Y-Strainer: Product Overview & Specifications

The stainless steel Y-Strainer is an indispensable device in medium transmission pipeline systems. Typically installed at the inlet of pressure reducing valves, pressure relief valves, constant water level valves, or other equipment, it removes impurities from the medium to protect valves and equipment for reliable operation.

Featuring an advanced structure, low resistance, and easy blowdown, this Y-Strainer is suitable for water, oil, and gas media. Custom filter screens are available upon request, with a consistent Y-shaped external design and fully stainless steel internal components ensuring durability and long service life.

Maintenance is extremely convenient: simply remove the detachable filter cartridge, clean out accumulated impurities, and reinstall it. With a compact size, fine filter mesh, high efficiency, easy installation/inspection, low cost, and short blowdown time (only 5-10 minutes for small models), it offers exceptional usability.

Standard filter mesh specifications:

• Water applications: 18-30 mesh/cm²

• Gas applications: 40-100 mesh/cm²

• Oil applications: 100-300 mesh/cm²

Structural Features of Stainless Steel Y-Strainer

• High-Quality Ductile Iron Construction: Both body and cover are made of premium ductile iron to ensure product reliability and structural integrity.

• Full-Bore Design: Expanded filter area (5-9 times the nominal diameter area) and large flow area (2-3 times the nominal diameter area) enhance filtration capacity, reduce clogging risks, and extend maintenance intervals.

• Low Flow Resistance & High Flow Rate: Optimized flow channel design via professional fluid simulation software minimizes pressure loss. The large filter area, reasonable pore size, and high open area ratio meet filtration requirements while ensuring stable terminal pressure and flow.

• Low-Noise Operation: Engineered for quiet performance in industrial environments.

• Magnet Optional: Can be equipped with magnetic accessories to function as a magnetic filter for enhanced impurity removal.

• Lightweight & Cost-Effective: Compact design reduces installation space requirements and overall project costs.

• Superior Sealing & Customizable Screens: Offers reliable sealing performance with support for custom filter screen configurations.

• Zero Leakage & Long Service Life: Ensures leak-proof operation and extended lifespan even in harsh conditions.

• Corrosion Resistance: Internal and external epoxy resin coating combined with stainless steel internal parts prevents corrosion and rust, making it suitable for sewage systems, underground installations, and other harsh environments.
